well, ok, it doesn't make sense for me to have a link on the front of the page that doesn't go anywhere. so, this is back to being public. but that also means i'll be more careful about putting the stubs up. it's falling in a transition period.

it took me a few days to get my head around this, but it's starting to take some shape, now. i often get too many ideas at once and need to kind of relax before i'm able to make up a plan that can get them all out in a way that makes sense.

so, i'm just about done the introductory collage. i'll be doing some live guitar parts tonight, and then that will be that. i'll then be able to take that and mix it in, which will finalize the first third of the track. the next step will be to mix in the various sequenced parts. this is going to be both heavy and crucial, as we're talking about roughly a hundred parts mixed into a handful of buses and carefully sprinkled over something that's already pretty full. i'll then need to do a number of highly kinetic guitar parts to finish the final mix. the last thing i'm going to do is take those guitar solos and work them into the orchestral version, along with any necessary overdubs, to produce the guitar concerto.

i think i can reasonably get the mix ready for the lead sections by the end of the weekend, and maybe even start laying them down. but that's going to be a lengthy process. i'm moving the eta on this to mar 1.

the closest i've done to something like this is the first movement of proverbs, which i'm also willing to call a guitar concerto. but, this is going to be a bit more ordered. and it actually took two years to complete. this is already 90% of the way there, so it won't be nearly that long, but getting the exact notes is going to take a few takes.....
